This striking set of three vintage masks originates from Sri Lanka and exemplifies the country's rich artisanal and ritual traditions. All masks are hand-carved and hand-painted; slight irregularities in shape and paint application are characteristic of their handcrafted nature and lend each piece its unique character.

The set includes two Naga Raksha masks, traditionally used for protection, warding off negative influences, and bringing good fortune. It is complemented by a Mayura Raksha mask, whose symbolic purpose is to drive away evil spirits that could cause misfortune.

with their vibrant colors, intricate ornamentation, and sculptural presence, the masks effortlessly transcend their original context and, as standalone objects, possess a powerful decorative quality. Whether displayed as a group or hung individually, they create striking accents and lend interiors depth, character, and cultural resonance.

A compelling set for collectors and spaces that value authenticity, craftsmanship, and expressive objects with a story.
